So an update on the mysterious fish, I went to another fish store and asked them what a Ram Angelfish was and I was told it was a cross- breed of a Ram Cichlid and an Angelfish. Wierd huh? Anyways, I bought a small Angelfish for a friend and as soon as I […]
Thanks Mike. I have been reading up once again breeding behaviors of the danio and it does seem to me that they are doing the mating thing. Its odd how both the males like the same female. The other two females are just keeping to themselves at the top of the tank. I just worry […]
I don’t want to make worry too much, but last time my zebra danios did this crazy restless dances, they died one after the other after getting really slim and not eating at all. But they were ‘dancing’ only just under the water surface. Someone told me it’s a Danio-exclusive disease! Are […]
Nooura,
You need to make up your mind whether you will keep using the UGF or if you will go with an outside filter prior to breaking down the tank. I would argue for the outside filter.
If you follow that path, you will need several weeks to prepare for it. Get an outside filter, and start […]

Thanks! Yes, it is definitely a red-finned botia, though mine looks to be in considerably worse condition than the pictures i saw when i googled it. his personality may have been aquired from his previous tank and it’s inhabitants. he has not regained any color since i recieve him either. it’s […]
You DO NOT need to worry about having neutral pH (7.0). Most fish will thrive in a wide range of pH levels (6.5 - 7.5+). Many fish will thrive at even lower or higher pH levels.
That neutral pH is something that a lot of stores try to push on people in order to […]
Hi Brenda,
It sounds like you do a pretty good job taking care of your koi and pond, so I don’t think you need to worry too much about any big problems arising from the rocks in your pond. It’s best to have no rocks in a koi pond, …. BUT, they sure can […]
Thank you, Don. I’ll show this to Malcolm when he gets in. I’ve also sent along a few shots that will give you an idea of what I’ve got. I like the idea of rinsing the mulm out with a wand and I have just the right attachment for […]
As you saw, the main reason for the center braces was due to the use of thinner, lighter glass as the thinner glass would bow out several inches without a center brace. It wouldn’t hurt to fashion your own brace. A strip of plexiglass and some epoxy would work.
Or you could do it […]
